Blackboard Jungle picklock

Post by Panzerfaust »

As a follow up to my Rebel Without a Cause post, here's a shot of Blackboard Jungle. If you're a fan of 28 cm picklocks, you won't find a better scene than this other than 12 Angry Men which has a 28 cm picklock with kris blade.

That doesn’t look like a Kris’s blade. It’s a bayonet blade.

The photo is not showing a Kris’s blade is what I’m saying.

The picture shown is a still from" Blackboard jungle" showing the 28cm picklock with bayonet blade.
The other film mentioned in the post by Panz was "12 angry men" which has a 28cm picklock kriss blade in a scene in it .

Hope this clears it up a bit .

And, there's no dragon on the rear scale in picture #2.

Wow ...that's a real pretty pair of picklock Kriss blades. 8)

Was the Dragon added to the horn scales on these for the film ,I mean did it mean something gang related etc ?.....or were there knives actually produced like this ?

Have to try and watch these films somehow now :)

Great post and pics of these knives Panzerfaust and Jackalope.
